Do you believe that the silver rate has jumped up very high overnight?
The price of 1kg of silver is ₹2,51,000, up by ₹61,000 from the previous all-time high of ₹1,90,000 on 15 October 2025. Many experts say silver is creating new history since December 1. Now, you will have a question in your mind about why this sudden spike is happening. I am here to explain to you clearly about the price hike. Grab a cup of coffee, and we will see what’s happening around us now.
The Reasons for this Silver Rally
The starting cause of the issue is that most of the world’s central banks are acquiring more silver in their reserves to go for an alternative to the dollar.
One of the main causes is the Fed Rate Cut. The Federal Reserve announced a rate cut of 25 points in the FOMC meeting, which was held on December 10 by Jerome Powell (Chairman of the Federal Reserve).
This rate cut will weaken the US dollar value, which pushes investors and common people to buy precious metals.
Escalating geopolitical risks
President Trump announced a blockade on Venezuelan oil tankers for more than a week.
The white metal demand has increased worldwide because of its industrial use. China has announced that it will limit the export of silver. This policy will be operational in 2027. The Chinese companies need licenses to export the precious metal. To qualify for the license, the companies need to make a minimum of 80 tonnes of silver per year, according to trade experts. This move will make an impact around the world because China is the 2nd largest miner of silver in the world. Also, India imported silver during September-October was over 2,600 tonnes.
India’s overview
In India, there is only one Silver manufacturer The Hindustan Zinc Ltd (Indian Integrated mining and resource produces Zinc, lead, Silver and cadmium) which is a subsidiary of Vedanta Group says, “Silver prices may go up and down, but silver’s abnormal increase shines stronger.”, on this statement, many experts analyzed that the prices may go up further.
